Fishing in Strathmore
Catch and release fishing is
allowed in Strathmore Lake
and Kinsmen Lake. Fishing is
regulated by the province and
anyone between the ages of 16-64
requires a license.
You can purchase a recreational
fishing license online at:
mywildalberta.ca/
or at a local sporting goods store
such as Canadian Tire.
Remember it’s “catch and
release” but it’s important to
note that if the fish is an invasive
species such as Prussian Carp,
please do not release them back
into the lake as these fish destroy
our natural ecosystems.

BALANCE: NOW THERE’S
A SANE THOUGHT!
I believe we all value and
even enjoy busyness.
It gives us a sense of
accomplishment and of
contributing to Society. It is
when there is no stopping
the sometimes self-
perpetuating momentum of
busyness that we tend to
lose some of our precious
sanity. “Striking a balance”
may just be a luxury
too grand for serious
consideration by some.
What does it mean to be
human? What do we need?
For the sake of argument,
I’ll just speak for myself:
- I need to love and be
loved
- I need to be healthy
- I need meaningful
connections and family
- I need to be valued and

Ten albums and 40 years later Gord Bamford
is one of the most decorated artists in Canadian
country music.
Bamford chalked up his success to honing his
skills at local club dates and meeting the right
people along the way.
“Here we are ten records later,” said Bamford.
“It’s a career that I never really thought was going
to get this far, but it’s been really good and I’m
excited to continue growing.”
The original dream for Bamford was a career
playing sports at a high level, before injury forced
him to seek other avenues in life.
“It was kind of my dream at one point to go as
far as I can in that [sport], then I had an injury,”
he said. “I really didn’t know what I was going
to do so I worked many different jobs. Worked
on the farm, worked in the concrete business
and I worked in the electrical business and at the
same time, chipped away at this music and it just
panned out.”
Musically, Bamford says he appreciates the clas-
sics, and that is where he draws inspiration for his
own music from.
“I’m still pretty old school. I really like older
country music,” he said. “My stuff leans a little
more traditional, but just very relatable music is
the stuff that I kind of fell in love with as a young
guy. That’s part of country music. I’ve always tried
to keep things simple.”
Keeping things simple has done wonders for
Bamford’s success throughout his career. He has
won 26 Canadian Country Music Awards, four Juno
Award nominations, and he is the only two-time
recipient of the Country Music Association’s Glob-
al Country Artist award. Despite all the awards,
Bamford says he most appreciates the fans.
“You always strive to just build a career that you
can have longevity with. My goal has always been
to sell a hard ticket,” he said. “The awards and all
that are great. But a lot of times they don’t trans-
late into hard ticket sales, and a lot of times artists
who deserve to win don’t win. So it’s more about
the music and the people for me than the awards.”
Bamford has also dedicated a lot of his time and
money to philanthropy, namely the Gord Bam-
Ready for the stampede
LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
Hello Chestermere-Strathmore readers. First of
all, please join MP Martin Shields and I in Strath-
more at Kinsmen Park for a Hot Dog day this Sat-
urday, July 31, at 11 a.m. All proceeds raised go
to the Strathmore Municipal Library. We will be
so excited to see everyone there. Thank you to all
our staff at both of our offices for helping to set
this up.
My heart is so full having been able to spend
time with everyone in their offices, at weddings,
having coffee, and at the rodeo. I truly hope I
never forget what it felt like to see friends and to
sit next to each other, share a conversation, and
in my case – embrace, during the stampede, Bulls
on the Beach in Chestermere, and as we look to-
wards the Strathmore Rodeo. I want to acknowl-
edge that folks have been worried about the D
variant of the Corona Virus. It is always impor-
tant to remember the protocols, especially if you
have not been vaccinated. Kindness is something
that goes a long way for those who are continu-
ing to wear masks or need to keep their distance
at these events. On July 23, we had our first Bulls
on the Beach in Chestermere that showcased 25
of the top athletes in the country. Thank you to
Dan Richard, Lazy P Rodeo Company, the City of
Chestermere, and to the Rocky View Chestermere
Ag Society for hosting this sold-out event. We had
the fantastic Cody Maclean as our MC and Megan
Pierson (the creator of the Bull Shirt brand), and
the dust in our teeth was real!
I want to thank the members of the Wheatland
and Area Surface Rights Society. I was so appre-
ciative of their time and expertise and would like
to give a shout-out to the Hilton family. Thank
you to Spencer for not only providing us the loca-
tion at the fabulous Origin Malting and Brewing

ford Foundation. Founded in 2008, the charity
has raised over $4.3 million for children across
Canada.
“It’s been really one of the biggest highlights
of my career that I’ve been able to be a part of,”
said Bamford. “It’s really growing and it’s helping
a lot of organizations across Canada. We do a ton
of stuff right here in Alberta, which is important
to me as well. We’re just continuing to grow that
foundation as big as we can.”
He says life experiences have played a large part
in why he started his charity.
“I think it’s just the right thing to do. Giving
back is a great thing, and as a father of three kids,
things are a little different in my life from what
they were years ago. You get to see how they
grow and the needs that these kids [have] and
some of these kids who are a little less fortunate,
they need help too.”
Bamford will be playing at the Strathmore Stam-
pede on July 30. Tickets for the show, along with
the GlobalFest fireworks show, are on sale for $45
each and are available online (strathmoreag.com).

especially the diversified crop production that we
see in our constituency, is at the heart of job cre-
ation and invigorates the economy and the entre-
preneurial spirit of our beautiful province. Proper-
ty rights, including landowner rights, are inherent

Finally, many of you have been asking about the
Deferred Payment Program. I want to first thank
all of you that struggled to keep your head above
water throughout the COVID protocols and clo-
sures. There are not enough words of gratitude
to express to our frontline workers and to those
of you who fought to keep your businesses going
and adapted to comply with the protocols imposed
on you to keep all of us safe. 245,000 Albertans
were able to defer their utility bills throughout the
pandemic, and most of the money was paid back.
The utility companies needed to apply for loans to
help them manage the extended credit and cash
flow required for the deferral program. I realize
that many of you are frustrated with the extra 50
cents per month it will cost all of us to pay back
the $13 to 16 million leftover debt. I acknowledge
that 85 per cent of us paid back their portion of
the deferral. This is a temporary rate rider that is
transparent. I will keep you updated as the Al-
berta Utility Commission reviews the issue and
shares the final details of the program.
As always, we love to hear from you!

Inaugural North of 49 Championship
revs to life over weekend event
JOHN WATSON
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
The Inaugural North of 49 Karting
Championship, hosted by the Calgary
Kart Racing Club (CKRC), was held at
the Strathmore Motorsports Park on
July 24.
John Kwong, who organized the
event, said the club had been look-
ing to host a larger scale event being
somewhat of a central club in western
Canada.
“We figure we can draw racers from
Chilliwack, Warburg, Regina, Saskatoon
and Winnipeg,” he said.
The club has reportedly been debat-
ing the idea for several years, though
only acted on the idea and began put-
ting it into motion last November.
“The impetus was that we had seen
other clubs run events and we thought
we should run our own event,” ex-
plained Kwong.
He added the hobby has recently
experienced growth in the amount of
people both watching and racing, as
during the COVID-19 pandemic it gave
people something to do in their down-
time, as well as being a sport that is
social distancing-friendly.
The karts themselves are not like the
average go-kart one might see at a ca-
sual consumer track. Kwong said a lot
more goes into both building and rac-
ing this type of machine, just like a full-
size vehicle.
“These are far beyond what the gen-
eral public typically knows as a go kart
that you would rent … or that kind of

was held at the Strathmore Motorsports Park over the course
of the weekend.
machine,” he said. “These are purpose-
built racing machines, very lightweight,
colourful bodywork, lots of safety built
into them.”
Drivers competing at the North of 49
ranged from ages eight to 78 and were
divided based on their age, as well as
engine class.
Eight-year-old drivers reportedly
mount a Briggs and Stratton four-cycle
motor into their karts, boasting roughly
six horsepower, and typically capable
of rocketing the youths to speeds of 55
to 60 km/hr.
“The top class is about a 45-horse-
power gearbox kart, so it actually has
a transmission where the drivers have
to change gears¬ – and those will
reach about 140 [to] 145 km/hour,” said
Kwong.
Heat races were held on Friday, pre-
finals were on Saturday, and a 20-lap
final took place on Sunday. Though the
driver to win the final wouldn’t nec-
essarily have triumphed through the
whole weekend.
“We’re going to do what we call a P-
pick for the Friday night heat, so each
driver will experience a front, middle,
or rear of grid starting position,” he
said. “This way, they will have to race
smart and careful to get through the
heats because if they did not finish one
of these, it could hurt their points total
by the end of the weekend.”
All the drivers had to get through the
weekend on one set of tires. Kwong
added drivers will have had to come
up with strategies to manage their tire
wear in order to complete the weekend.

the same would go for this iteration.
The location of the tournament, she
added, is often split between hosting

Fuchs-Cey did not specify the scope
of the renovations to the building,
though described them as significant.
She also did not specify exactly how
much capital is required to complete
the project.
Over 100 golfers reportedly came out
to enjoy the tournament, which is par
for the course when compared to previ-
ous tournaments.
Fuchs-Cey added she sees new faces
every year, which includes people from
Calgary to Saskatchewan, and every-
where in between.
“People really have fun and we make
it a fun tournament,” she said. “It’s a
scramble, so you go to the furthest hit

a good golfer, you don’t have to be to

“We really appreciate all of our spon-

The overall goal for the project is to
see full-scale renovations to the build-
ing begin in the summer of 2022.

Donations accrued on the road are

The primary goal however, Dubois
explained, is to raise awareness and
help educate the public of the horrors
experienced by those who attended
residential schools.
“The stories my grandparents told
were all true. Those are just the ones
that we are finding,” she said.
“There’s so much more that we’ll

it is not as far back as people like to
think it is.”
The last residential school to close its
doors in Canada, located in Saskatch-

Dubois and her family are also hand-

“As a parent, hearing [about] all these
children, I can relate to … not knowing

Football Alberta hosted their Summer Series on July
18 at Great Chief Park in Red Deer, which featured
over 300 athletes from around the province – among
them were six Strathmore locals, looking to showcase
their skills.
Due to the lack of other competitions, including the
Football Canada Cup, Pacific Challenge, and Alberta
Summer Games, the Summer Series was the only pro-
vincial competition for elite Albertan players.
Players were split up into 10 different teams based
on age, and five games were played on the day of the
Series.
Of the 300 athletes, six were from Strathmore.

Times Reporter
Siksika Parks and Recreation have teamed up with
the University of Calgary Dinos basketball teams and
the Siksika SN7 Program to host basketball clinics,
both for young aspiring players and coaches. The
camps will be held at the Siksika Deerfoot Sportsplex
on July 27-29.
Jody LaBelle, coordinator of SN7, said the camps fit
well in line with what SN7 is doing for Siksika youth.
“Basketball’s big in Blackfoot country, so we want-
ed to have a camp that would enhance the participa-
tion, draw kids out and just kind of jumpstart the
youth activities in our area,” said LaBelle.
Leading the camps are members of the men’s and
women’s Dinos teams, and also the assistant coach
of the men’s team, Dan Pearson, who reached out to
Siksika to make this possible, according to Siksika
Health Services recreation team leader Richard Run-
ning Rabbit.
“This is actually his last year with the U of C Dinos,
and he’s moving on to coach in England in a Euro-
pean basketball league out there,” he said. “So he’s

tage of while he’s here, and he’s offered his services

downtown businesses.
Participants will be given a sheet of paper at the
library which will contain hints as to which business
to visit. Participating businesses will have posters with
book covers on the front window. After figuring out
which business is being described in the hint, you
walk to the business and write down the name of the
book displayed in the window and the name of the
business.
All participating businesses are within walking dis-
tance of the library, according to the scavenger hunt
organizer and library staff member Olivia Reardon.
“Businesses don’t have to be open all the time; they
can just put the poster in their front window so peo-
ple can see it [even] when they’re closed,” she said.
Salmon, defensive back Kaden Warren, and offensive
lineman Kaden Warren, represented Strathmore.
Brady Johansen played on the U17 South as a defen-
sive lineman, and finally Jordan Southern played on
the U16 Calgary Metro Colts as a linebacker.
“It was fun, a great learning experience, great to get
out there and get with a lot of like-minded people,
good football players, and just get better,” said South-
ern, reflecting on the series.
Southern’s team, the Calgary Metro Colts, fell to the
Edmonton North Golden Bears 26-13 in their only
game of the series. Despite the result, Southern felt
good about the game.
“We went out there, my team didn’t get the exact re-
sult we wanted, but I did good, my friends did good,”
he said. “We had fun.”
Southern says his future football plans include aim-
ing to play Division 1 college football in the United
States, or playing college football in Calgary or Ed-
monton.
Pearson was assistant coach for the Dinos team that
won the national championship in 2018 and recently
accepted an offer from Reading Rockets in England
where he is set to take up his role as head coach.
Not only are the Dinos instructing the camps, but
they are also pledging to stay on the reserve and ex-
perience the “Siksika way of life.”
“They’re also going to be staying out here and
we’re going to provide some teepee lodges for them
for the duration of the camp,” said Running Rabbit.
“That was their request. And of course, we offered to
provide that if they were interested, which they were
greatly interested in. They want to experience some
of our ways in the land, just to get out and experience
things out here.”
The young partnership between Siksika and the
University of Calgary will also result in the Dinos’
practice jerseys featuring a special Blackfoot word.
According to Running Rabbit, the coaches of the
Dinos were asking if there was a word in Blackfoot
that meant ‘try hard,’ or ‘try your best.’
“We said yeah there is, its ‘ikakimot,’ and they said,
‘we like that, we’re going to put those on our practice
jerseys.’”
To register for the camps, visit the Siksika Parks
and Recreation Facebook page and scan the QR code
included on the poster.
Reardon says she planned the event as something
fun for people to do, but that some businesses are
taking an extra step.
“It’s free for everyone, it’s free for the businesses, it’s
free for the participants. But some of the businesses
are offering a little coupon. So at the end, when you
hand in your booklet, the participants will get a little
coupon book from local businesses,” she said. “Every-
body’s been so generous with what they’re willing to
give to our patrons. It’s pretty exciting.”
Reardon says previous scavenger hunts were the in-
spiration for Booking It Around Strathmore.
“Families just seem to really love it. They love com-
ing out and getting outside and exploring and doing
fun things,” said Reardon. “I thought this year, since
we are now reopening all of our businesses, we may
as well do a little one involving all the businesses
downtown.”
According to Reardon, she is hoping to get “as many
businesses as possible” to sign up for Booking It. The
hunt will last for two weeks, starting on Aug. 7.

Obituary
BLANCHARD, Eldon George
The family of Eldon George Blanchard is saddened to
announce his sudden passing at the Peter Lougheed
Hospital, Calgary, Ab. on Wednesday, July 21, 2021 at
the age of 76 years.
He leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Sharon, his children Cheryl
Smithson (Garry Runions) of Medicine Hat and his son Murray (Tasha)
of Strathmore; his grandchildren, Nathan Smithson (Kerstin), Matthew
Smithson (Lauren), Zachary Smithson, and Celsey Smithson (Jorel);
his treasured great grandson Rhyden Smithson all of Medicine Hat;
his sister Gwen Heisler of Medicine Hat and his brother Dennis (Lor-
raine) Blanchard of Calgary, Ab. as well as numerous nieces, neph-
ews, and cousins.
He was predeceased by his parents George and Jean Blanchard, his
brother-in law Gordon Heisler, and his in-laws Victor and Josephine
Opp, his brother in law Brian Opp and his sister in law Bonnie Adams.
Eldon was born in Medicine Hat on September 16, 1944 and was
actively involved in hockey, baseball, and football. He worked with
CP rail as an Engine Attendant for many years and retired August 1,
1989. From this career he jumped into running a painting business.
The move to Strathmore gave him the opportunity to be a school cus-
todian which he loved. Because of ill health he became a domestic
engineer.
He was a faithful member of Bill W (AA) for 45 years and loved helping
those in need and especially those new in the program. He faithfully
read his little Black Book every morning.
There will be a celebration of life on Thursday evening July 29, 2021
at Lord of All Lutheran Church (112 Lakeside Blvd. Strathmore) at 7:00
p.m. with lunch to follow. Pastor Dawn Nelson officiating
If desired, donations may be made to the Wheatland & Area Hospice
Society (Box 2154 Strathmore, AB T1P 1K2 or wwwwheatlandhos-
pice.ca)

Obituary
PETERSON, Eldon Gunnar
October 3, 1930 – July 23, 2021
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of
our loving husband, father, grandpa and great grand-
pa Eldon Gunnar Peterson on July 23, 2021 at the age
of 90 in Strathmore.
Eldon was born in Redvers, Saskatchewan on October 3, 1930. He
came to Alberta in 1949 and started working for farmers in the Cluny
area. He met Mary Anne and they were married in 1958. Together
they purchased some land and started their farming life. From grain,
chickens, pigs and cattle, dad had a great fun-filled life. He always
enjoyed the neighbors stopping in for a cup of coffee or a little nip in
the shop. Five o’clock Saturday was quitting time because there was
always a local area dance that him and Mary Anne loved to go to. He
loved spending time with his children and grandchildren which we all
have fond memories of.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years Mary Anne; children Barry, Allan
and Carol (Jay); grandchildren Kassandra (Greg), Ayllissa, Brandon,
Kimberly (Eric) and Kristine (Allan); and great grandchildren Braylin,
Kason, Jaxon and Cooper.
He was predeceased by his parents Alfred and Johanna; brother Don-
ald; sister Myrtle; and brothers-in-law, Ted and Harvey. He is survived
by brother Benny (Marcelle); sisters Bernice (Bob), Beth, and Carol
(Paul); sister-in-law Glendy; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved him. He was
the best!
A small family memorial will be held at a later date.
